Thessalonians study out line.
For years I have shund doing a study of the Thessalonians letters.
But for the past few weeks now I have felt the need to read and
reread them which I have been faithful to do. With no particular
agrenda in mind but to just listen to them. I started by reading the
introductions to both books, in two or three different translations
and publishers to see if there was anything that I could pick up on
by them as an aid.
Today with the tremendous advancement of evil or so it seems, these two epistles
speak volums even to the untrained and unsanitized or sanctified eyes and ears. I will cover
them as one unit combining both letters as one study. And will also
eleminate the term “brothern” used repeatedly within these two
Epistles. Let's see how the LORD leads.
This study could
well be titled the revealing of the Axis of Evil. Satan as the
deceiver of mankind works overtime to destroy the power of Truth in
God's people and His Living and Life emparting Word. And man by the
operation of his own imagination plays into Satans hand by the
refusal of the acknowledgeing of evils exsistance within man as is
often expressed through others. For me this is brought about because
man eats from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which causes
ignorance and denial of the exsistance of evil through mans own
religious forms in what Paul calls the tradition of man, in
Colossians 2:8 which states this; “Beware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after
the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Peter states
this in 2Peter 3:17; “You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these
things
before, beware lest you also, being led away with the error of the
wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.” So it is possible to
fall from the convictions of our inward knowing of Christ. If this is or
was not so there would have been no need to warn those who have
experienced the inward baptism of the heart wherein the
sanctification takes place by GOD'S own hand. In the cutting
away of the seed shell which covers it. It is the Holy Spirit who
alone breaks up the otherwise stoney heart (this takes place during
our Redemption period and is spoken of as our being the husbandman or tilage of GOD) to prepare the hearts reception of Light onto
Life Eternal. Many of the scripture passages I will look at tie
together as they have double and triple meanings and purposes within
them. This is GOD'S way of making His point and is ment for our
learning onto comprehension.
One more thing I will break up the follow of these passages not in
a verse by verse form but rather in a complete thought or in
paragraph form, as close as I can get. Many translations have a
symbol of some sort located at what maybe the beginning break of a
paragraph and it is from these breaks that I will draw from. The
other thing that I have noticed is that the first letter is a word of
encuragement and exhortation before Paul begins a stronger second
letter of warning against antichrists, false Christs and false
prophets also known as lawlessness and the son or sons of perdition.
This is a patren used by the Holy Spirit throughout scripture and is
most obvious in the first three chapters of Revelation and the LORD'S
calling out of the churches that would soon fall to the ancient
goddess of religion. First found in Babylon (but is hidden in the
context of Genesis 3) the symbolic city of sin and death in that sin,
through its king Nimrod (known as the Assyrians people, made up from
Asshur and Nimrod, Genesis 6:11, 10:6 [9-11]-19, 13:13, 1Chronicles
1:10-16) and his wife and mother [also known by Mother Earth and
Mother Nature, the furtility goddess of the Winter and Spring
Solstice, which runs with the Spring and Winter Equinox or the spirit called Jezebel which is also seen in Revelation 2:20]. And their
gods and goddesses some of which are known by Adramelech, Molech or
Moloch (2Kings 17:24-33 [30-31]). First to succum to them was Israel
through what todays is known as Islam of the Persians. The very people God told
Joshua to destroy (Joshua 10), these people were from Ham, Ishmeal
and Esau and are spoken of by Ehoch as becoming ravenous, devious,
wild wolves (Micha 5:6, 7:2, Jeremiah 6:14-18), who are devoid of the
God who created man in His image and likeness. These early Christian churches become Muslims themselves. When the
Turks slaughtered millions of them in what is called a holy Jihad. In
the turning away from being Christ centered, to man centered. It
could be said that they fell away from the Faith as prototypes ment
for our learning.
1Thessalonians
1:1, 2-10
“Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the church of the
Thessalonians which
are
in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace,
from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ."
